Rule V draft eligible after their first year player draft

TwinMonster · 06-23-2006, 04:00 PM

I've read there are some "issues" with rule V draft eligibility. I haven't been able to locate the thread so I'm posting this one just in case it's not part of the "issue." I am running the trial version (which I'm guessing means patched version.) I just finished my first year player draft and several of the older prospects that I drafted are marked as eligible for the rule V draft.

TwinMonster,

I'm sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this thread.

I've been trying to replicate this issue in the latest version of the game, without any luck.

Have you run across this again?

Thanks,

Steve

I'm playing a patched game, using the Lahman Database which I started in the 2005 season. I did the ammy draft in June and then played a few days ahead and went back to check my 1st round pick -- a pitcher that went straight to AA to see how he did in his first start. As I was clicking around his player card I noticed in the "Contract & Status" tab that the player was Rule V eligible, and his time as a pro was listed as 4 years and 3 days.

My universe is set up as MLB, AAA, AA, A, and Short A, and there are no other leagues foreign or domestic that he could have come from. I drafted him out of college, so unless the AI is saying the "gifts" he received from alumni made him a pro, he should really only have 3 days of professional service.

I also randomly checked 10-15 of my other draft picks (draft was 50 rounds) and didn't find any others on my team with that problem. Then I checked 4-5 picks from other teams and noticed that some players (maybe 15 or so out of about 150 random checks) were also credited with 1-3 years of pro service when they had all just been drafted 3 days ago.

I will say that all of the players who had that problem were in AA or A ball, and not one player in Short A (that I saw) was given service time.

I had originally posted this in general discussions to see if anybody else has noticed this, and was encouraged by other members to post here as well.

Steve, due to the expiration of my trial version, I can't access the game any more. This was with the first of the patches. Once the trial extension thing is fixed, I'll try running the player draft again and see if I end up with Rule V eligible players again.

Merged some related threads. This is still TT # 2314.

Oh, looky, Markus has already claimed to have fixed this for the next patch. Not verified yet though...

Sweet....

TwinMonster · 07-21-2006, 12:22 PM

Here's hoping this makes it into Tuesday's patch....

It did. Fix verified using today's patch.

Thanks,

Steve
